Originally released in 2010 on their own label, Brooklyn nu-disco group Escort’s ‘Cocaine Blues’ is lovingly revisited by Glitterbox Recordings over a decade later, re-introducing the dancefloor essential to a new generation of disco fans. A loose remake of disco-reggae classic ‘Cocaine in My Brain’ by Jamaican DJ Dillinger, Escort’s ‘Cocaine Blues’ with its relaxed, disco approach and catchy vocal soon became a hit. With Greg Wilson and Ewan Pearson stepping up on remix duties, Greg taking the stripped-back approach with minimal vocals and enhanced drums, and Pearson going for a housier feel with filtered vocals and swirling synths, this package still sounds just as good as it did when it first graced dancefloors.
